Welcome to Reading Blue Coat School Parents’ Association

- A Social Focus for Parents –

From day one, your sons and daughters are very much made to feel part of a community – we believe the same should apply to you and it is our aim to ensure that this happens.

How? Put simply, by organising events and opportunities that will enable you not only to meet each other, but also members of staff and the students.

Please take a few minutes to register on the database – this will not only enable us to keep you informed of our events, but will also ensure that you have secure access to the whole site and the ability to seek out other parents.

We look forward to meeting you very soon.
